Put in a new IAC valve and problem solved. Idles nicely 800-900rpm.

Don't tell me that. Maybe it was just cold idle. I just put it on and fired it up. I need to drive it around a bit so the PCM can learn it. After I do this, and it's warm, hopefully it settles. This thing has been a nightmare although a cheap one. I apparently bent a heater core inlet yesterday while putting in the air cleaner. Found my floor soaked last night. Pulled up carpet and saw two streams of water. One from A/C evap and the other from heater core. I put a hose over the A/C evap drip line to let it drip all the way out, and bypassed the heater core for now. The outlet port on the heater core was bent a little and was dripping from the engine bay too. Pretty sure my heater core is fine, just need carefully fix that and silicon everything in site that goes into the cab from the firewall. Sheesh!

Well it's still about 800 warm. Are yall sure it's not higher for a manual trans? Either way, it's better than what it was.

To my knowledge, on a auto trans, neutral and park idle the same: around 750-800. Since you have a manual, in order to idle, you're in neutral all the time. So I think 800 is prolly good.

I thought so. 650 would be awfully low while in neutral for a stock setup. Almost big cam like.

This is just my take on it, but if it's running good, leave it. lol
